Replacing axle bearing in my 99 t/a . Ready to reassembly . Heres the problem.

Plz tell me what pic is the right way. Holes towards top or towards bottom. Thx

Be sure to replace the thrust plate retaining bolt (spacer bolt). It is torque to yield,
so I would replace it. Any GM dealer can get you one, they are $4.72.
